Wonderful friends

The road to a friend’s house

Is never long

-Dutch proverb

Hello, I realised something this morning.....throughout this last
week, I visited almost all the people that I hold very close to my heart. When you
think about it, that doesn’t happen very
often. I missed out on a couple of people and will catch up with them very
soon. The sharing of holiday photo’s with two of my dear friends was amazing and because the photo’s were of
Italy.....that stirred up the wonderful
memories of our trip. It was lovely to visit with you my dear friends.

A gift given to me....I will treasure
it!

I was on a mission these holidays to make as
many show entries as I could and my time was well spent. I will have to show
and tell after the show as I would like to keep my items under wrap (secret
squirrel) lol. I can show you this......

A baby jacket, 291 stitches cast on, knitting in 2 ply merino
wool. Very delicate and very enjoyable to knit. It’s a bit like knitting
with spider web...just love it.’

I also had some gardening to catch up with, so this is the
section of garden that copped a pruning. The rose bushes have been cut right
back and a mile of weeding was done. We had a huge red bin dropped off during the week
so I made sure to fill it as much as I could.

Beautiful homemade biscuits from ratbag Heather the feather.
These are the yummiest biscuits ever!!!! Heather is a wonderful
friend....even though she gets out of control sometimes. Lol

A lovely Homespun magazine to browse through!!

Well tomorrow it's back to work for me. Had a wonderful holiday, though it went
way too quick, it will be great to catch up with the tribe at work. Hope your
weekend is a hum
dinger one for you!!!!

It does sound like you have had a lovely break. I admire your skill and patience when knitting with 2 ply. I struggle with 5. It is looking beautiful.Great to see everything growing so well in the garden. Those recent rains will have been a big help.MMMM.... biscuits!Have a great start to the new term.

So glad you had a great holiday break Anita - looks like you have been busy with that sneaky peek of gorgeous knitting there too. I have been rose pruning also - its great time for it according to the moon calendar. Your friends biccies & your Homespun mag look so inviting. Have a great week :-)

Your baby jacket is quite gorgeous. I take my hat off to you knitting with 2 ply!! Holidays have ended down here at the bottom of the world too....back to the grind!! Your garden is looking lovely....all ready for the onset of Spring!!

While I couldn't see the photos, damn kids have used all the internet, it sounds like you kept yourself out of trouble for your holidays and had a great time, I look forward to seeing the photos in a couple of days when my internet resets!
